Background and ObjectivesProsthetic hand development is undergoing a transformative phase, blending biomimicry and neural interface technologies to redefine functionality and sensory feedback. This article explores the symbiotic relationship between ...
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...
For flying insects, the transition from flight to surface locomotion requires effective touchdown maneuvers that allow stable landings on a variety of surfaces. Landing behaviors of insects are diverse, with some using more controlled flight approach...
This study presents a flexible aquatic swimming robot, which is a promising candidate for underwater search and detection missions. The robot is a living eel fitted with a wireless electronic backpack stimulator attached to its dorsal region. Leverag...
Invertebrate research ethics has largely been ignored compared to the consideration of higher order animals, but more recent focus has questioned this trend. Using the robotic control ofas a case study, we examine ethical considerations in invertebra...

Multimodal sensory integration is vital for the evolution of artificial intelligence, yet current approaches often rely on physically connecting distinct sensing units (such as visual and tactile devices) through external circuits, leading to data tr...
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...
This study presents a new design for a multi-degree-of-freedom underdriven mechanism. The aim is to achieve efficient bionic motion of a sea turtle hydrofoil with multi-degrees-of-freedom using a single drive source. The design focuses on the kinemat...
Bio-inspired robot controllers are becoming more complex as we strive to make them more robust to, and flexible in, noisy, real-world environments. A stable heteroclinic network (SHN) is a dynamical system that produces cyclical state transitions usi...
